Walmart is testing a new delivery model by using store back rooms to hold third-party sellers' products, aiming to offer faster, including same-day, delivery. This builds on Walmart's current system where stores act as local hubs, delivering over a third of online orders within 3 hours. The move targets closing the gap with Amazon, whose marketplace and delivery scale remain larger. Walmart's marketplace revenue grows nearly 20% annually, supported by AI-driven inventory decisions and warehouse automation. The strategy aligns with Walmart's strong e-commerce growth, with U.S. online sales up 27% recently, as it competes more aggressively with Amazon's expanding services.
